....

The carriage finally stopped, and Murong Yu helped her down.

She saw the three large golden characters "The Imperial Palace" on the plaque, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

'Didn't you say to send me back to the East Palace?'

"This Prince is going back to the East Palace."

She turned around coldly, but he pulled her out of the carriage forcibly, then lifted her sideways.

Murong Ci's resignation made her whole body tremble, and she said angrily:

"Put me down!"

"With so many people watching, it's better for Your Highness to be quiet.

Doesn't Your Highness want to learn about Luo River's murder case today?"

Murong Yu walked towards the mansion gate in a stride.

She bit her lip fiercely and stopped speaking.

He was right...

From the Imperial Palace to Jingzhao Palace is indeed relatively close.

On the way from the Palace gate to the wing room, Murong Yu's feelings were the same as before, but he couldn't help thinking that the Prince that he was holding in his arms felt more like a 18-year-old woman, soft as water.

It was like hugging the delicate flowers of spring blooming in his arms on a mysterious moonlight night.

Murong Ci, on the other hand, was so angry that she felt like throwing up, struggling a few times thinking about it, but it didn't help her easing her heart.

'Damn Yuwang, too domineering.'

Along the way, the servants of the Imperial Palace were either dumbfounded, or their eyes and jaws were almost falling off.

Yes,...Seeing the Prince Regent was holding the Crown Prince and swaggering all the way, how could this strange scene not be eye-catching?

However, with their thunderous skills, the servants of the Royal Palace chewed their tongues in the Palace at most, and did not dare to spread it.

It wasn't until she was lying on the bed that Murong Ci's heart fell back to her original position and was relieved.

Two maidservants came in and waited on them, and soon after Murong Yu left the room.

The Imperial Palace was equipped with a government Doctor, who soon came to diagnose and treat the pulse.

He then retired after prescribing the prescription for His Highness.

After taking the soup medicine and sleeping, the maidservant brought the millet porridge, and Murong Ci ate it.

After sweating a lot, she started feeling less uncomfortable.

"Is the Prince Regent in the house?"

she asked the maidservant.

"The Prince Regent has been in the study since he came back."

The maidservant replied.

"In that case, this Prince is going to the study then."

"Your Royal Highness, the Prince Regent has ordered and recommended us to let Your Highness rest more."

Murong Ci ignored the maid's persuasion and walked out without hesitation.

The maidservant was caught up in a panic, and shouted:

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Murong Ci walked quickly, leaving the courtyard and heading straight to the mansion gate.

Suddenly, she stopped, and was taken aback for a while before moving on.

Not far ahead, Murong Yu was walking in heavy steps.

....

It was early summer and the wind was blowing, with the flowers being in full bloom.

The green leaves were fascinating, and the wonderful flowers were unparalleled, transforming into a splendid background.

In the background of these luxuriant flowers, that beautiful jade carved face was as cold as thin ice.

His figure came closer and it was as clear as thick ink, which was impossible to ignore.

They met on a narrow road.

"It seems Your Royal Highness couldn't rest well after all...

Where exactly are you going?"

Murong Yu asked in a deep voice.

"This Prince is better now.

It's time for me to go back to the East Palace."

Murong said coldly,

"Thank you Prince Regent for taking care of me."

"Your Royal Highness doesn't want to know the inside story of the Luo River's murder case?"

"The Prince Regent knows?"

"Let's go."

He turned and left, waking fast.

She quickly followed,

"Where to?"

However, he did not answer, and went straight to the gate of the mansion.

The carriage was already waiting at the gate.

In fact, little she knew that Murong Yu was planning to go find Master Shen Zhiyan, and then together to head to Jingzhao Mansion to inspect the dead woman.

She thought they were returning to Jingzhao Mansion and since Murong Yu wanted to take her there, she would naturally not refuse.

....

Not long after, they arrived at Dali Temple.

She asked in surprise:

"What did we come to Dali Temple for?"

Murong Yu still didn't answer, got out of the carriage and walked inside.

She quickly followed, and suddenly thought,

'Could it be that he let Dali Temple accept the murder case of the Luo River?'

When the officials of Dali Temple saw the Prince Regent and the Crown Prince coming, they greeted them and led them inside.

Master Gu Huai and Master Shen Zhiyan were in the morgue when they heard the announcement and hurriedly went out to the door to greet them,

"Greetings, Your Royal Highnesses, the Crown Prince and Prince Regent."

Shen Zhiyan thought silently,

'How come His Highness was with the Royal King?'
